2.3. Data Types
There are 14 fundamental data types (or classes) in MATLAB (Fig. 2.1). Each of these types is in the form of an array. This array is a minimum single element in size and can grow to an n-dimensional array of any size. Two-dimensional (2-D) versions of these arrays are called matrices.
The char data type, for example hello, is a character array. Each character is stored in Unicode (uniform code) representation and is 16 bits long. The character string is 1-by-n array of characters. Array of strings can be used to store number of strings, provided all of them have the ...
